Mekhi Brown(6'-5",250 lbs)DE Tennessee State.Estimate 4.65 forty
Former Bama player.Little bit of a hothead,but if he can keep it on the field he could be a surprise.

Just went to a SMU practice on Tuesday and then their game vs Houston on Thursday. He stands out.

They also have a tight end that looks good (although he dropped a wide open TD in game). He's a poor man's Jordan Reed IMO.

Kylen Granson TE 6-3/235

Leki Fotu Utah

HT 6'5"
WT 323 lbs

On the other hand, Utah’s Leki Fotu is an absolute powerhouse in the middle of the Utes’ defensive line. At 6’5, 335 lbs., he is one of the most difficult run-defending defensive linemen to block in the country because of how much power he plays with his hands and length

Raequan Williams,DT-Michigan St...6-4,303...at one point Gil Brandt ranked him the 4th best DT in 2020...but in pre-draft stuff I read he barely gets mentioned.
I'd love to get him here.

Benito jones from ole miss. 6'1 326 and has a quick first step off the ball. So far in 2019 he's had 17 solo tackles, 3.5 sacks and 1 interception on a very bad defense. I'd love to have him.

Similar frame and movement skills as Antwaun Woods, just about 25 lbs. heavier. Nice call.

I really like Zach Moss the Running back from Utah. Guy's got the "it" factor and is one tough son of a gun. I think he's going to be a steal in the draft for a team looking for a running back.

Thanks. In my opinion he’s an immediate impact player. He’s a good kid too and comes from a good family. I’ve been watching him since his freshman year in HS (we graduated from the same HS). Whoever gets him ( hopefully the cowboys) will be getting a good kid.
